Dear AI Companies, instead of sneakily scraping OpenStreetMap.org, how about a tiny $10,000 donation? We'll even throw in a shiny new download link to our entire planet's geo data! Who knew it was that easy? Start here: https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/donate/ #win #ai #bots #OpenStreetMap šŸŒ šŸ¤– šŸ¤‘

@bart Unfortunately it is extremely common. Sometimes 100s of req/s hitting expensive API endpoints. Multiple IPs, faked UAs.

@Firefishy @bart why scrap when there is planet.osm available?

@wikiyu @bart Sssssh! Don't give away our secret sĢ¶aĢ¶uĢ¶cĢ¶eĢ¶ source. Honestly, no idea. The full planet.osm data would be a lot easier to use than painfully slow scraped data.

@Firefishy @bart
Exactly, there are also increments with changes... and parts per continents and...
Oh god i cannot imagine ANY reason to scrap it from website.

Or maybe... it was shIT answer of ai for "download whole osm"

@wikiyu @Firefishy @[email protected] probably asked an ai for a program to get all the data...
